Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive a multi-UE wake-up signal in a downlink control information (DCI) communication. The DCI communication may include a set of content field groups. The UE may identify a content field group of the set of content field groups that is to be read by the UE, and determine a behavior associated with performing a UE wake-up operation based at least in part on the identified content field group. Numerous other aspects are provided.
